Chapter 17: The Xuanjia Army is less than , but if it is , it is invincible!

At Yongmen on the west side of the imperial city or the inner city, Zhang Liao led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to charge in, and the Black Armor Army led by Qin Qiong followed closely behind him. The two armies passed through the Yongmen gate one after another and marched straight in.

As the imperial city of the Han Dynasty, the city walls were 12 meters high, and there were urn walls and moats. All the defense measures were of the highest standard, unlike other prefectures and counties where the city walls were reduced to avoid usurpation.

It would take a long time to break through such a wall. It would take an incalculable amount of time. They would have to manufacture siege equipment, ladders and chariots, and then attack with a brute force. The number of lives consumed was also astronomical. Even if the five schools of the Northern Army had more than 30,000 soldiers, it would be difficult to break through in a short time.

This period of time was enough for the Xiliang Army to depose and support the new emperor Liu Xie to ascend the throne. Then, relying on the new emperor's edict, they could suppress the rebels in a legitimate and justifiable manner. This was the idea of ​​the Xiliang Army!
But no matter how strong the city walls are, they cannot stop being breached from the inside!
Xuanwu disguised himself as "Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate". With his help from inside and outside, the factory guards had been infiltrating key positions of the city defense. When Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong led their troops to attack the east and west and reached Yongmen, the factory guards had already opened the city gate.

Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong led their troops straight into the city and easily captured Yongmen. Zhang Liao sent troops to inform the five northern army forces that had been attacking the north for a long time, and then he and Qin Qiong led their troops into the imperial city and headed straight for the palace.

When they entered the Imperial City, they felt a vibration like a rolling earth dragon, as if thousands of troops were rushing in! But Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong were sure that there were not so many soldiers of the Western Liang Army in the Imperial City!

Then there is only one possibility—the Flying Bear Army is coming!

Dong Zhuo had more than 100,000 Xiliang troops under his command, from which he selected 3,000 elite soldiers to form the "Flying Bear Army", led by his trusted general Li Jue. They were all fully armed cavalry, not much different from the Black Armor Army.

The only difference is the difference in armor craftsmanship between the Han and Tang dynasties and the three-piece warhorse set!

"The patrols in the imperial city are led by Li Jue. The 'Flying Bear Army' under his command is the elite of the Western Liang Army, and can be called the real 'Western Liang Iron Cavalry'. They are all fully armed cavalry, similar to your 'Black Armor Army'!"

Zhang Liao said with a serious expression: "If we want to enter the Imperial Palace through the Imperial City, we must deal with this army. Otherwise, we will have worries!"

"Wenyuan, you lead the infantry to fight the Flying Bear Army from the front, while I will ambush and attack from the flank. We will definitely defeat the Flying Bear Army!"

Qin Qiong looked at Zhang Liao solemnly. He had discussed the battle tactics for this battle with Zhang Liao yesterday.

This is also the cavalry tactics of the Tang Army, one of the strongest armies in Chinese history - avoid the strong and attack the weak!
First, the cavalry would ambush on the flank of the battlefield, then the infantry would line up to attack the enemy, and when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the ambush cavalry would move out and attack the enemy's flank. Then, they would always defeat the enemy with a small force and win a great victory.

From the Battle of Huoyi where Li Shimin faced the Sui general Song Laosheng, the Battle of Hulao Pass where Li Shimin faced Dou Jiande, the Battle where Su Dingfang defeated the Western Turks, the Battle where Li Ji destroyed Goguryeo, and other battles, we can all see the cavalry tactics of the Tang army!

"it is good!"

Zhang Liao nodded solemnly, but he was still a little uneasy.

That's the Flying Bear Army! The elite among the elite of Xiliang!
Zhang Liao had only over a thousand soldiers under his command, all of whom were recruited from Hebei a few months ago. After three hundred soldiers were stationed at Yongmen, only seven or eight hundred were left. And now he had to face three thousand Flying Bear troops!

Zhang Liao feels a huge pressure!!!

But speed is of the essence and time waits for no one. His Majesty in the palace is still waiting for their rescue. In order to stop the Xiliang army from wilfully deposing and enthroning the emperor, they have already written their wills and are ready to die for their country!

So, what are you afraid of?!
Zhang Liao seemed to be making a promise, but also seemed to be encouraging himself: "We can definitely stop the charge of the Flying Bear Army!!!"

"When the Flying Bear Army saw the infantry phalanx, they didn't dare to charge directly, but would only disperse and attack in a roundabout way. By that time, I had already led the Black Armor Army to attack from the waist, which was bound to interrupt their offensive!"

Qin Qiong looked at Zhang Liao's nervousness, which even affected the soldiers a little, and said with a look of "not caring much". In fact, this is also a manifestation of "despising the enemy strategically and paying attention to the enemy tactically":

"One horse is equal to eight infantrymen. Cavalry is an expensive type of soldier. How can we charge into battle like cannon fodder? Mobility is the most important tactic of cavalry!
"Gathering and dispersing, coming together and dispersing, erratic and uncertain, this is the true meaning of the cavalry in the art of war as 'the army of separation and reunion'! Therefore, you will not face the charge of the Flying Bear Army directly, but will only be harassed by their roundabout attacks!"

...

“So that’s how it is!”

Zhang Liao suddenly realized that he had benefited a lot from Qin Qiong's surprise attack on Yongmen this time, and learned a lot of military strategies and tactics, which could not be taught by just a few words in military books.

Just like "paper talk", it ultimately requires "practical operation", and Qin Qiong became his "practical mentor", enabling the fledgling Zhang Liao to grow rapidly.

Qin Qiong smiled, then decisively led the Black Armor Army to leave and lie in ambush!
Zhang Liao was about to order the infantry to deploy their troops and guard the entrance to the passage to block Li Jue's Feixiong Army, but he suddenly woke up and looked back at Qin Qiong and the Xuanjia Army who were lurking in a detour, and discovered a horrifying detail!

"No wonder Shubao ordered the Black Armor Army to wrap up the horses' hooves. It was to cover up the sound and deceive people so that they could set up an ambush successfully."

Zhang Liao had not noticed anything unusual, and even felt that there was no need to do so, because the two armies were fighting in a chaotic situation, and the sound of horse hooves could not give too many clues for the enemy to notice anything.

It was not until he faced the "Flying Bear Army" that Zhang Liao realized that three thousand fully armed cavalrymen galloping on their horses were like an attacking army of thousands. The shock and momentum made it difficult to ambush them.

Qin Qiong wrapped up the Black Armor Army's horse hooves in advance, making it almost noiseless and allowing him to set up an ambush that was concealed from the public.

"Compared with Shubao, I now realize how immature and superficial my military tactics are!" Zhang Liao sighed sincerely, feeling that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. But in fact, there is one thing he didn't realize -

Qin Qiong's "Black Armor Army" has a three-piece set of war horses. The weight of the fully armed + the sound of the horseshoes will make a sound of overwhelming waves. The Black Armor Army is like a steel torrent, and the momentum alone is enough to scare people!

And yet, Zhang Liao actually didn't notice the details under the horse's hooves!
Zhang Liao's emotion was only fleeting, and he quickly plunged into battle, ordering his infantry to form a battle array, with spears like a forest outside and crossbows densely packed inside, and they steadily advanced in the direction of the Feixiong Army's attack.

……

Time goes back to a quarter of an hour ago.

Li Jue was in charge of the Feixiong Army patrolling around the Nangong Palace. The areas outside the Nangong Qinglong Gate, Baihu Gate, Zhuque Gate, and Xuanwu Gate, as well as the imperial city areas within the twelve gates of the imperial city, were all defense areas patrolled and guarded by Li Jue.

Li Jue also received the news that the five schools of the Northern Army led their troops to attack Yongmen on the north side, but he did not leave his post for the sake of his eagerness to make achievements, and he always stayed at his post. The Beigong Imperial City Defense Zone was guarded by Zhang Ji's troops.

I still have great trust in this colleague Li Jue!
Of course, Li Jue has been paying close attention to the military intelligence and battle reports of the five schools of the Northern Army to avoid any unexpected situations!
"Report!——"

At this time, the messenger rode up to catch up with Li Jue and brought him a piece of news that surprised him: "General, when the military advisor was carrying out the dethronement and enthronement, he encountered an ambush and attack. General Guo in the Nan Palace is leading his troops to rush to the rescue!"

"Another ambush?!"

Li Jue was a little surprised.

This was the second time news of an ambush came.

The first time was when the Northern Army's five lieutenants, Wu Fu and other clowns rebelled. But that was just a trick to lure the enemy out and lure the snake out of its hole, so it was not worth mentioning.

But this second time, Li Ru never mentioned it, and the Xiliang army generals were not prepared, so... was this the enemy attacking unexpectedly? !

Without the Xiliang army generals and Li Ru noticing, how did the enemy infiltrate the palace and plant spies in the heavily guarded palace controlled by the Xiliang army? !

Could it be... there is a traitor colluding with the outside world? !
Even this traitor was in a high position in the Xiliang army, so he could conceal his true intentions and plant the rebels without anyone noticing? !

Thinking hard!
Li Jue suddenly said solemnly: "Go check again and report all the details of the palace's dethronement and enthronement!"

"promise!"

The messenger received the order and retreated, riding his horse towards the palace.

Li Jue looked solemn, and looked at Jia Xu, the captain of the Suppressing Enemy Army, and asked doubtfully, "What does Wenhe think of this?"

Jia Xu was originally in Li Jue's army.

In the original history, after Wang Yun set up a series of schemes to persuade Lü Bu to surrender and kill Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang army was in a panic, like a headless fly, and a pile of scattered sand. It was Jia Xu who explained the pros and cons and persuaded Li Jue and Guo Si and other generals to join forces to counterattack Chang'an.

Jia Xu's expression was also solemn. He thought of more than what the messenger had just said. Not only was there a traitor lurking in the upper echelons of their Xiliang Army, but even the entire palace and the imperial city were no longer safe.

"General, I suggest joining forces with the Bingzhou Army to assist in defense!"

When Jia Xu saw Li Jue's frown, he knew that there was a huge rift between the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army. Li Jue was already a little impatient with Lu Bu and other generals, but he had to take the necessary measures in an emergency as they were now tied to the same rope.

Jia Xu suggested:
"General, when the military advisor was deposing and enthroning the emperor, the rebels suddenly rose up and attacked, so much so that they had to ask General Guo Si, who was guarding the palace, for help. This shows that the situation was urgent. Although it was not extremely dangerous, it was enough to show that the rebels were powerful.

"In the heavily guarded and strictly defended imperial palace of our Xiliang Army, there are still such powerful rebels. This can only mean that there are some people with ulterior motives among the senior leaders of our Xiliang Army.

"They can infiltrate the palace, the palace gates, the imperial city area, and the imperial city gates. Now the entire imperial city is no longer safe. The five schools of the Northern Army attacked the Xia Gate and Gu Gate on the north side. Isn't this a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west?
"We Xiliang soldiers are numerous and powerful, but we have dispersed our forces to defend various places. To be on the safe side, please immediately order the Bingzhou army to guard the North and South Palaces. The two armies will work together to defend. Even if the enemy breaks through the imperial city, we will have the power to fight back!"

...

After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army had already torn their faces apart. The two armies were at odds with each other, and now the Xiliang Army continued to depose and enthrone, while the Bingzhou Army was in Sikong Mansion to mourn for Dong Zhuo, and at the same time stationed in the southeast corner of the imperial city.

It's like being sent to a marginal, unimportant position!

In the face of the Xiliang Army's forced dethronement and support for the new king to ascend the throne, the Bingzhou Army had no place to stand. The generals guarding the north and south palaces were all direct descendants of the Xiliang Army. It can be seen that after the dethronement was successful, they would definitely rise to prominence.

The Bingzhou army was completely isolated!
In this situation, the Xiliang Army joined forces with the Bingzhou Army at this time. Isn't this the same as asking for help from the Bingzhou Army, thinking that they are inferior in skills and still need to rely on the Bingzhou Army? !

If that were the case, with Lu Bu's stubborn and arrogant character, he would probably be so proud of himself!

Jia Xu did not urge him, but waited quietly for Li Jue to think it through on his own. Dong Zhuo's four generals were all talented generals who were brave and resourceful in commanding troops in battle. They would understand what the best solution was for the current situation.

Just as Li Jue was struggling with his mind and making a difficult decision, another messenger came in a hurry. Judging from his panic-stricken appearance, it was obviously bad news:
"General, the Yue Cavalry Sima Zhang Liao led his troops to break through the Yong Gate on the west side of the Imperial City and is now leading his troops to attack the White Tiger Gate of the Imperial Palace. The soldiers in the Imperial City area cannot resist. Request for support!!!"

"what?!"

Li Jue was horrified. One of the twelve gates of the imperial city, Yongmen on the west side, was actually breached by the enemy? !
That was a "fortified city" that was more than 30 meters high, with a city wall and a moat. How could it be breached so easily?!

"It must be a traitor working together from within!!!"

Li Jue quickly woke up, looked at Jia Xu, and said in a deep voice: "It is just as Wenhe said, the imperial city and the palace have been infiltrated by the enemy. I will immediately send troops to order Lu Bu to lead the troops to assist in the defense!"

Li Jue's final tone was a bit bossy, as if he was treating Lü Bu as his own subordinate. But in fact, after Lü Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he was made a marquis and a general, and his position was equal to theirs, or even better.

If we only rely on the messenger to issue the order, we are afraid that Lü Bu and other Bingzhou troops will be passive and lazy. Thinking of this, Jia Xu sighed and said:

"General, I will personally go there and persuade them with both emotion and reason, and I will definitely make Lu Bu and other generals understand the pros and cons and take action. You will immediately go to the vicinity of Yongmen and stop the enemy. Don't linger in the battle, just delay the enemy."

"There's Lawrence!"

Li Jue nodded, and immediately decisively ordered the Feixiong Army to gallop towards Yongmen. The sound of horse hooves was shaking and roaring.

Jia Xu took a look and knew that Li Jue did not listen, and sighed in his heart.

These generals are all brave and capable commanders. They are naturally arrogant and have their own opinions and ideas. How could they easily listen to others?
After all, Jia Xu is still a little bit of a nobody now, and his prestige is not as high as that of Li Ru, the military advisor, in the Xiliang army. With his mind as fast as lightning, Jia Xu also rode his horse towards the Bingzhou Army garrison. No matter what conspiracy the enemy had, their Xiliang Army still controlled the largest military force!
The strategy to defeat the enemy at this time is to unite these forces!

……

"Rumble--"

Li Jue led the Feixiong Army and rode at full speed quickly to the vicinity of Yongmen on the west side. He also blocked Zhang Liao's troops on the road from Yongmen to Baihumen.

Looking at the steady advance of the infantry phalanx, Li Jue directly ordered his troops to disperse instead of charging head-on into the infantry phalanx.

Situations like the head-on collision between two armies in movies and TV dramas are actually extremely rare.

Cavalry training is extremely expensive, and the Flying Bear Army is the elite among cavalry, and even more expensive. No general would use such expensive cavalry as cannon fodder or other consumables!
The tactics of cavalry are actually to use "mobility" to attack. Look for the weak points of the enemy's phalanx to attack, and if there are no weak points, create them yourself, such as frontal containment, outflanking, feigning defeat and retreating to advance, etc.

But before Li Jue could find a chance to break the deadlock, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It turns out to be a group of silver wax spear heads! Attack from the left and right wings, outflanking and encircling!"

"promise!!!"

The generals of Feixiong Army immediately obeyed the orders and followed them in unison. They were the elite among the elite.

...

There was some disarray in the formation of Zhang Liao's infantry phalanx, and the phalanx, which was originally heavily guarded, suddenly had many loopholes.

This is the difference between "paper talk" and "actual combat"!

Zhang Liao's troops went to Hebei to recruit soldiers a few months ago after He Jin issued an order. They were new soldiers who had only been trained for a few months and had not seen much actual combat. Today was their first battle.

Through daily training, when the wind is favorable, these soldiers still behave well, and they follow the training positions and formations in an orderly manner. But when the wind is unfavorable, just like now——

Facing Li Jue leading the Feixiong Army!
Looking at the fully armed cavalry charging towards them, even though Qin Qiong had already made it clear that they would not charge head-on into the infantry phalanx but would only attack from a roundabout way, the soldiers were still panicking!
Under tension and worry, some people slowed down their pace, some sped up, some became afraid and hesitated, and some could not tell left from right, which caused loopholes in the infantry phalanx formation. One, two, three... In the end, there were countless loopholes!
Li Jue discovered this and saw at a glance that this infantry was weak and not veterans of many battles but new recruits. He immediately ordered the Feixiong Army to attack from the left and right wings, and to encircle and attack from both sides.

Seeing that the Feixiong Army's formation had changed, Zhang Liao's infantry phalanx panicked again.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao sighed inwardly. They were all new recruits, not as experienced as the veterans who had fought hundreds of battles. Zhang Liao made a prompt decision and immediately gave the order:
"Form a formation on the spot!"

Dynamic marching is very stressful for new recruits, but they are quite familiar with static formations.

However, seeing the Flying Bear Army approaching from both wings, they became a little nervous and flustered. Many soldiers had the idea of ​​fleeing, and some even began to tremble.

Panic is spreading, and if this continues there might be deserters!

Being afraid before the battle is a big taboo in military strategy!
"Dying to serve the country, repaying the emperor's kindness!!!"

At this time, Zhang Liao suddenly roared, which immediately woke up the infantry soldiers under his command. They had signed a military order before setting off!
If a soldier dies on the battlefield, he can be buried in his hometown after receiving compensation from his family. But if a soldier becomes a deserter, he will be spurned by his hometown and his whole family will be ashamed!

The lesser of two evils!
Although these soldiers were nervous, worried, and even frightened, they did not flee in panic, abandoning their weapons and armor. Instead, they formed their battle line in a panic!

There are spears like a forest outside and crossbows like densely packed inside!
Even to boost morale, and seemingly to encourage themselves, under the leadership of the squad leader, platoon leader, team leader, and garrison leader, they shouted:

"Dying to serve the country, repaying the emperor's kindness!!!"

These shouts made their blood boil. They suppressed their reason and fear and only wanted to fight to repay the emperor and the country!
Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two wings of the Feixiong Army that were approaching. He ordered the messengers to raise the command flags in their hands and shoot arrows as soon as the soldiers came into the range of the bows and crossbows!

...

As for the Feixiong Army, Li Jue also ordered them to prepare for "mounted archery". In addition to charging into battle and bravely killing the enemy, the cavalry also trained in horseback archery, and even used it in conjunction with combat.

Just like now, Li Jue glanced over and looked at the posture of this group of new recruits. They seemed to be shouting slogans to boost their morale and courage, but in fact they were panicking. He sneered and ordered:
"Feint!!!"

The Feixiong Army, which attacked from both wings and encircled the enemy, immediately took out bows and arrows. The entire army drew their bows and strings, ready to fire. Nearly a hundred arrows were deliberately shot out.

In fact, this is beyond the range of the bow and arrow, the arrow is soft and powerless, and poses no threat!

However, this "feint shot" was intended to lure out the enemy's "arrows".

If the veteran is a veteran of many battles, he will not be fooled. He can even estimate the best shooting range and time by eye. His hand holding the bowstring is as steady as a rock and he will not be moved by the enemy's pretend shooting.

But the troops under Zhang Liao's command were new recruits that had only been formed a few months ago!

Seeing the enemy attacking and "a rain of hundreds of arrows" sweeping over, they were already panicking and immediately couldn't wait to attack as well!
In their opinion, the enemy has already taken action, and they are all archers, so they can also take action!

"Shhhhh-"

Before Zhang Liao gave the order, most of his archers had already released their arrows. People tend to follow the crowd, and some archers who wanted to wait for orders simply followed suit and released their arrows.

A dense rain of arrows shot towards the Feixiong Army. After seeing this, Zhang Liao sighed in his heart: "We have fallen into a trap!"

But Zhang Liao did not panic. He ordered his soldiers to prepare for a second round of shooting immediately!
Because the distance was too far, the first round of "rain of arrows" did not hit the Flying Bear Army at all. Even if some of them hit, because they flew too far, the arrows no longer had much power and posed no threat to the fully armed Flying Bear Army.

"Crackling——"

The first round of arrow rain fell on the Feixiong Army, just like raindrops tickling an itch, which immediately caused the whole army to laugh. However, as they galloped on their horses, their hands that drew bows and shot arrows were as steady as Mount Tai!
This is the difference between veterans and rookies!

Not only in terms of psychological quality, but also in terms of practical experience!

Li Jue looked at the new recruits under Zhang Liao, who were busily preparing for the second round of archery. However, would the Feixiong Army give them this opportunity?
Of course not!!!

After feinting and deceiving the enemy's first round of arrows, they immediately accelerated and entered the range. As long as the Flying Bear Army's "rain of arrows" swept down, Zhang Liao's infantry phalanx would surely suffer heavy casualties!
And that is the best time for the cavalry to charge into battle!
Li Jue sneered at Zhang Liao's new soldiers, and was extremely disdainful in his heart! It was this silver wax spear head that made the elite Feixiong Army of the Xiliang Army take action. It was simply using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, which was a great insult to their Feixiong Army!
In that case, let's wash away the insult with blood!
Li Jue sneered and raised his hand. Just as he was about to give an order, the sound of a charge horn suddenly echoed.

Rumbling--

The Black Armor Army ambushed on both sides, under the command of Qin Qiong, launched a strong attack and decisively attacked the flank of the Feixiong Army.

In fact, this is not the best opportunity. We should wait until the Feixiong Army and Zhang Liao's troops are fighting fiercely, and then the ambushed Xuanjia Army will take action to catch the enemy off guard, which will surely defeat the Feixiong Army.

But Qin Qiong naturally knew that the troops under Zhang Liao were only new recruits recruited a few months ago, and it was actually a bit too much to ask them to face the Flying Bear Army in a fierce battle.

Being able to attract the attention of the Feixiong Army, lure them into action, and even force them to split into left and right wing formations, thus giving the Xuanjia Army a chance to suddenly attack and strike the enemy's flank, is already an extraordinary performance!

Let’s leave the subsequent battles to the Black Armor Army!
"Shoot the arrow!!!"

The Black Armor Army suddenly attacked from the waist, first using horseback archers. A barrage of arrows swept over from close range, immediately causing heavy casualties to the Feixiong Army.

At this time, the Feixiong Army was still launching a surprise attack on Zhang Liao's infantry phalanx. Even the Feixiong Army soldiers were preparing to ride and shoot, aiming at Zhang Liao's phalanx in front of them. When they were about to fire, an ambush army suddenly emerged from the side.

Even veterans of hundreds of battles were shocked when caught off guard!
Just when they were caught off guard, the "rain of arrows" of the Black Armor Army had already fallen densely.

The Feixiong Army was indeed fully armed cavalry, but there were bound to be loopholes in the movable parts, just like the eyes, joints and other places, which could not be tightly sealed and airtight, and when the rain of arrows fell, there would be more or less unlucky soldiers who would be hit by arrows.

The same is true for the war horses of the Feixiong Army. With holes in their armor, some horses will always be unlucky when caught in a hail of arrows.

"what--"

When unlucky soldiers and horses were hit by arrows in the charging ranks of the Feixiong Army, they fell to the ground, forming an immediate obstacle. The cavalry behind were caught off guard and crashed into them directly, like a rear-end collision.

The momentum of the Feixiong Army's charge was interrupted and their formation was in chaos!

At this time, Qin Qiong also led the Xuanjia Army to approach the Feixiong Army. He took the lead and led the troops, directly attacking the flank of the Feixiong Army and launching a fierce attack.

"kill!--"

Qin Qiong brandished his two maces, killing anyone who stood in his way, and fighting bloody battles.

After the Xuanjia Army had finished their cavalry shooting, they decisively put away their bows and arrows, took out their horse lances, followed Qin Qiong closely, and bravely fought against the Feixiong Army. The Feixiong Army was immediately thrown to the ground, and their formation was in chaos.

"There's an ambush!!!"

When the charge horn of the Black Armor Army sounded, Li Jue had already woken up and ordered the whole army to be on alert. But just now he ordered "left and right wing assault, outflanking and pincer attack", dividing the Feixiong Army into two teams on the left and right wings.

The wing team led by Li Jue was shocked after being attacked unexpectedly, but they soon woke up and turned their guns at Li Jue's command to encircle the Black Armor Army, directly giving up the attack on Zhang Liao's infantry phalanx.

As veterans of many battles, they knew the difference between the primary and the secondary. The infantry under Zhang Liao were just rookies and had no threat. But the Black Armor Army that was attacking from the flank was obviously an elite force that had fought many battles!
If they were to disregard all else and deal with Zhang Liao's new recruits first, leaving their backs exposed to the Black Armor Army who would advance straight ahead, they would simply be putting themselves in danger.

Therefore, Li Jue led this wing team and decisively formed a "change of formation", bypassing the Xuanjia Army that was attacking from the waist. Thanks to the mobility of the cavalry, they changed their formation very quickly.

however!
The other wing team, which was the one led by Qin Qiong and the Black Armor Army, was completely defeated after the rain of arrows and Qin Qiong led the brave fighting. They suffered heavy casualties and were completely routed.

By the time Li Jue changed his formation and attacked, the wing troops had already been routed. Qin Qiong also attacked Li Jue's main force directly, decisively, and fearlessly. When two generals meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. Neither general avoided the battle!

Li Jue looked at the Feixiong Army soldiers lying on the ground, the anger in his eyes burning to the extreme. These were brothers who fought side by side with him, and comrades who shared life and death with him.

But now they were attacked by Qin Qiong and the Black Armor Army, resulting in heavy casualties. This was not only a big blow to Li Jue's reputation, but also a great shame for the Feixiong Army! Their Feixiong Army had won every battle and had never been defeated!
"kill!--"

Li Jue took the lead and faced Qin Qiong who was leading the troops.

However, soon, Li Jue finally understood what the "Qin family double maces" meant: "horses trample on both sides of the Yellow River, and maces hit the six counties of Qingzhou"!

After just a few rounds, Li Jue was defeated!

The Feixiong Army led by Li Jue, the "heaviest cavalry in the world" which can be described as "the Xiliang Army is the best in the world, and the Feixiong Army is the best in Xiliang", finally experienced the "sweeping momentum" of "the Black Armor Army with less than ten thousand men is invincible if it is full of ten thousand"!

With this battle, the Feixiong Army’s undefeated streak came to an end!
This Black Armor Army, clad in black iron armor, galloped across the land and was invincible. They became famous in one battle, shocked the world and began their legend in the Han Dynasty!
